Judicial Activism in Defense of Democracy
>
Constitutional Judicial Review has been regarded as the most politically controversial power held by judges, because its implementation destroys boundaries that allegedly separate things "political" from things "judicial". Scholars have spent unbelievable amount of time and energy defending or attacking constitutional review. And yes, given its anti-majoritarian nature, judicial and constitutional review needs defending. We aim to provide solid proof that democracy helps develop judicial review, and at the same time, judicial activism plays a big role in defending democracy.
The Decolonisation Process: Some Problematic Cases (past and present) arising from the application of the principle of self-determination of peoples
by Dra. Maria Ruiz Dorado, Profesora Asociada del Área de Derecho Constitucional de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, Coordinator of International Relations. Law and Social Sciences School (CR).Decolonisation has been one of the main concerns of the United Nations since its origins, which is why normative instruments (United Nations Charter, Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples) and special committees (the Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples) have been set up to put an end to the decolonisation process that began around 1945 (there are currently 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories). Consequently, starting from the principle of equality and self-determination of peoples, we will analyse some of the decolonisation scenarios that have occurred in the past, as well as current problematic scenarios.
